Sorry Ive Abandoned You Dear Blog...PART 1.

Hello...
 Its been a while since Ive had a computer at my disposal therefore not much of a chance to write. Iknow I havent written and I apologize.
But since the last time I wrote much has happened. I wrote in my last entry that we were going to the Circuit Assembly and we did. On Saturday we had a good day. When we arrived I saw a few brothers and sisters I hadn't seen in quite a few years, others more recently. I went to see two girlfriends who were getting baptized that day with their mom. They looked very happy and so I took a picture of them.  A few minutes after the program began so I went back to my seat. My mom and aunt both had to leave to clean the restrooms each at 10 and then 11. My uncle and dad both had to be outside in the parking lot, so for some part of the morning Ziv and I were alone. A while later my dad came back and my mom returned. I had to go the bathrooms to clean them too around 12pm, so I left before the song began. I knew it would be hectic to work during the lunch time and for a large portion of it, it was. I know that Jehovah helped me and the sister, because it was a huge bathroom that we had to keep clean. Crazy! But, we did it, and on both days! After I went to eat and had about 15 minutes left to socialize and say my two friends who got baptized. I wasn't able to see them , but I hope to see some pictures soon. They were all smiles, as I was too. When the afternoon session began I wrote many notes since I enjoyed all the illustrations used. Once it was over, we saw more brothers and sisters and conversed. A family was sitting in the row in front of us and I recognized one of the boys as a old boy that went to my school. I approached him and I his name was Henry. My aunt, mom and I then went to the main bathroom and volunteered to help clean the restrooms. My grandparents, uncle, dad and brother had already gone home.We cleaned them and stayed for quite a while, but we w that the next day we'd have to do extra better. Once we finished us ladies headed to an anniversary party of some friends of my mom and aunt whom they had known for 20 years. I was able to meet the couple and their sons, their last name is Fonseca. I also met other family members and friends. We had such fun! We danced to cool music and saw a slide show of pictures of the couple for over 20 years. I was able to exchange info with them and am now communicating with some. I was happy to get to meet some of my moms former peers and their children which are now my peers!! We stayed for quite a few hours and helped pick up the place. When we got home it was late and everyone except my grandparents were asleep. We went to bed right away! The next day was another Assembly day. It went well and we also cleaned that day, but we had extra help since the Bathrooms were packed even more. Afterwards we stayed cleaning till the very end. A group of about 7 brothers came to check the restrooms! It was nerve-wrecking! Well the few days after I cant remember what we did. I think that the next weekend we came to Rosairto and I had a good time seeing my old friends and going to the meetings. I saw quite a few on Friday like Jailine and Gus DLM, my old study Anabelle and her sister Jazmine, as well as others who were also glad to see us. We had to pack a lot and we had a huge sale. My bed sold on the last day!!! Ok, so I we came back and I went out on service the rest of the week. The next weekend I had planed on going to my first ASL meeting in the area, but when I showed up, no one was there. It turns out they had had their C.O. visit and met at Rancho Cucamonga instead. Well, we went to Borders afterwards and then came home. My aunt, unlce and parents were invited to a party at the Perez' home and they left around 7. Later, they called me saying that teens were there too and told me they'd come to pcik me up. They came for me about 20 mins later and when I arrived they had just started dancing. They needed someone to DJ, since the person who was supposed to didint show. They were using Utube and I had a playlist saved there just for Dancing and they started to use that. I had fun dancing and laughing along with the friends there. They had some nachos and even though I mnot a fan, I really liked these! I had no idea they could be that good. Well, the night ended and we came home to rest. On Sunday we had our first meeting at 9am, so a group of brothers we re planning on going to the Park. I didnt want to go and stayed home and showered. It started getting dark and I had expected my parents to be back with Ziv since they had planned on staying only a few hours. After a while, the rest of my family began to question why they weren't back yet, so we tried calling. Nothing. Well, we got an answer shortly after as to why they hadnt been back sooner. My brother had broken his wrist while paying soccer and had to be takn to the Hospital. He was ok but I knew that in a lot of pain. So, I wrote him a letter and as I finished, they got home. That week we had to get used to having him walking around with a cast on, since we kept bumping into him. Pobrecito! Well, that week I started a new homeschooling program which so far  really like. Its simple and easy. I have to go twice a week and turn in a packet every time I go. Im doing good so far. The weekend came and I wanted to go to the Sign Language Assembly but had no ride. My mo offered not only to take me but to come with me, so I was very happy and grateful. My brother tagged along too. At the Assembly we met a sister named Andrea who was sitting behind us. She started learning ASL 2 years ago with her husband and seems to understand it now. We also saw Rio, whom I met at the Anniversary party a few weeks back. She had gone that day with a friend. I also got to meet a friend who has known my mom since she was a teen! He also has 2 years learning with his wife and 2 young kids. A few days later we got the news that a friend of ours was accepted to Bethel!!! He is about 21 or so and is already a M.S. so I think he's ready! Wats funny is that he was planning on leaving to New York the next day for a vacation trip! Whats cool though is that he will be able to check out the facilities and see his future home. He starts in March and will be used for 3 months. I have to go now and start getting ready for the meeting. I will soon write the second part to whats been going on....

Bye!!
